A tornado ripped through Littleover in Derby leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.

A Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: "The incident – a mini-tornado – affected numerous properties, taking around 50 tiles off properties, and damaging houses and garages."

She said firefighters were removing dangerous tiles, and police were also on hand for "crowd control".

Eyewitness Richard Bryan, who was driving in Littleover at the time, told the BBC it felt like driving into a washing machine. He said: "A wall of water and wind just hit the car with terrific force and almost stopped it." "I got the wipers on full pelt and, when the window cleared, all I could see were three dustbins...and the wind picked them up and they actually flew into the air."
